Great list, you convinced me to look up and buy some :)

Great choices - but it is inevitable that your viewers will be rooting for their personal favourites - I was holding out for The Rupert Annuals written and drawn by Alfred Bestall.

All through the video I was sure that Look and Learn and Valiant would be in your top two choices,,, simply excellent video,,,wish there were more youtubers like your good self,,,many many thanks

Flood Warning by Paul Berna is indeed a great book. Well drawn characters, with strengths and weaknesses, in a story that has to do with morals.

Can’t say I know much about Lindisfarne so I enjoy this kind of favourites video. I have just 8 of their albums but they are the early ones with a couple of live and a greatest hits. I have never explored the later ones so I need to get on to eBay! My favourite song is Run for home and I am surprised that you don’t like it.

Interesting, I have Fog on the Tyne and I just ordered Sleepless Nights

Just thought... youre missing the love it or hate it party album 'C'mon Everybody' lol. I'd also recommend the 3 Buried Treasures CDs if you haven't got them... some really great gems rarities and outtakes on those.

Nice ranking I have every Lindisfarne, Jack The Lad and Alan Hull solo albums. I'd probably put Happy Daze last though for Lindisfarne. Maybe because l have the CD remastered from vinyl and it wasn't done all that great, murky sound issues. I love JTL too. Have you ranked them? The Wurm is an excellent track from their 2nd album. Being from the North East (South Shields) I've had the pleasure of meeting Billy Mitchell, Ray Laidlaw, Steve Daggett and Phil Murray from time to time. All great down to earth lads.

Thanks for sharing this - a really lovely run through the albums.

I've read all the Narnia books, so I know I must have attempted at least one Swallows and Amazons book, but for some reason there are none in my collection and it's a series of books that hasn't seemed to grab my attention as much as others have done. I may have to give them another try some time. There are so many books I have enjoyed reading often numerous times. It would be hard to whittle it down to my top 10 though I know who the likely main contenders would be! My all time number 1 book has to be 'Gay Dolphin Adventure' by Malcolm Saville. A new start for cousins, a girl who could have been me (!) a boy that I liked the sound of, a mysterious and creepy man they nickname Slinky, an old hotel with a smuggler's past and rumors of hidden treasure. An actual treasure hunt, new friendships and a group of villains we want to overcome. Set in a time and place we feel we are in as the pages turn. Just magical.

My absolute favourite authors are Malcolm Saville and Jane Shaw. Malcolm Saville's Lone Pine series in particular for so many reasons wins hands down every time, and I still read these regularly. His books, and Jane Shaw's laugh out loud writings of her Susan series, Penny series and Adventure series, as well as other titles, have occupied uncountable leisure hours for me. Needless to say, my Saville and Shaw books are some of my favourite possessions! Another favourite used to be the Jennings series, they also made me laugh out loud and I'd find the boys' misunderstandings and the ensuing mishaps they encountered along with their long suffering teacher, hilarious. However, I grew out of them eventually though, and so parted with my collection! Apart from the soft spot for Enid Blyton and the nostalgic writing of Michelle Magorian (neither neglected I don't think!) I didn't have another particular author that I'd try and find all the books of. (Unless you could count Nicholas Fisk's books, Grinny and Remember Me. Both absolutely terrifying!) I would though, instead, look for any 'adventury' illustrations on old books and choose those to buy from charity shops or jumble sales. Last holiday, I bought two exciting looking books, one hardback called 'Ring 31265' by F.M Gravatt and a paperback by Dorothy Clewes (Who's name sounded familiar to me) called 'The Adventure of the Blue Admiral'. I've yet to read these books, and I'm half fearful they will pull me down the rabbit hole of trawling second hand shops again in search of adventures set in a time when children wandering off on their own and tackling spies and jewel thieves wasn't frowned upon! Other authors you mentioned I'd not heard of, I may have to do some trawling!

Really enjoyed this. It would take days for me to work out my own top 10 though!

Apologies to all for calling Sleepless Nights by the wrong name. Still, it didn't make any difference to its position in my list.
